Music from the Middle Ages:
Martim Codax - Siete canciones de amigo
Bernart de Ventadorn: Chansons d'amour

Studio der frühen musik/Binkley

I wish that the complete recordings of the Studio der frühen Musik could be released...   :(

Yes indeed. I have quite a lot of them on LP and they are never less than extremely interesting, and often very great.

I need to get more into Bax's music. I love his chamber works but his orchestral music has left me rather cold.

I have discovered from sources that you have been locking yourself in the fridge with a playback device and listening to Bax Orchestral in there.  You might warm to him if you stop going into the fridge all the time.   :P

To start the day, a Christmas work I foolishly forgot to play during the season and, even worse, one I esp. enjoy and will now listen to maybe five times in a row in (happy) penance :  Louis-Claude Daquin's Noel Etranger played by the Aulos Ensemble on a MHS compilation creatively-titled (sic) "Baroque Favorites" from 2010.  This is the only work of his I know and should investigate.

Now:



A magical work. It's certainly underrated even amongst Delians. I really hope a conductor like Andrew Davis or David Lloyd-Jones records this work at some juncture as it needs a modern update (not that I'm dissatisfied with Handley's performance).
Are you re-re-re-re-re-evaluating Delius again?

That  :laugh:, and selected readings in pantheism might help!  Speaking of chamber works, MI, you might be interested in the Bax piano duos, I have loved those for many years and the performances are delicious and nutritious(who needs a fridge when you've got these morsels!).

After the site was offline for a couple of hours I have been listening to this among others.

Can't you just picture Arnold Bax playing this with Harriet Cohen?

A box you pointed out some time ago - I've thoroughly enjoyed it and replayed several times.

I am happy to hear that my friend. Ahle was totally new for me, and what a pleasant surprise it was.

Indeed 8), and thought of just that as I typed it! What a romantic he was (his autobiography Farewell My Youth is well worth seeking out, I've read it twice).

I saw that. Mighty expensive for a 112 page book though!

Yowza! You're right! I found some prices in the $25 range on ABE but most are in England and shipping, to U.S. at least, prohibitive.  Half.com has several ex-library copies for $31.50 plus shipping.  Reprints are rip-offs.  With no University-affiliation now, I realize I may have read my last Bax  :'(  Farewell my youth, indeed,  :)

:D That's true, John. ;) I do like Bax's Spring Fire a lot. Are you familiar with this work? It's really a symphony in all but a name.
